Evictions in Ireland.

DUBLIN, Aug. 31.-The sum total of the
work by the evictors on the O'Grady
estate at Herbertstown yesterday was the
election of three families. The crowds
attracted by the evictions became very
demonstrative in their sympathy with the
tenants, and the police were compelled on
several occasions to charge and dispense
them This they did with evident pleas
ure, and piled their batons right and left
with terrible effect. A great many per-
SONS were injured by blows upon the head
and body, some of them quite seriously.
Among those dubbed by the police were

SICK OF SELLERS.
The Committee of One Hundred Will Have
Nothing More To DO with Him.

1--WE are thoroughly sick of Mr.. Sellers" said q
member of the committee of one hundred. '.The
proposition Of the committee to him was to fur
nish him counsel without any expense to the
government. Yet we couldn't find in Indianap-
oils any attorney with whom this dainty lawyer
from White county was willing to associate.
Numerous persons were suggested, among
them Eli hitter, w. p Fishback, Judge
Robinson and Solomon Claypool. He declined
each in turn, on the score of local politics, but
during that time in a strange alteration, sue-
gested Major Hendricks. Mr.. Sellers must have
been badly muddled not to see the incongruity
of refusing the other gentlemen named, and
then to attempt to employ one vino had been an
attorney for the persons to be prosecuted.
Major Hendricks saw the absurGity of the posi-
ton and declined ,. | very much doubt if mis-
at all, had Mr.. Sellers first gone
through tie formaity of asking him.
Mr.. Sellers declined to let the committee select
attorney to help the prosecution. though they
would pay him. and the government would be at
no expense. and it seems finally to have occurred
to the committee, when he began to suggest to
them attorneys in remote parts of the State,
that. unless they could have a voice in the seec-
ton Of the assistant to the prosecutor. they
would not foot the bills of any man who might
appear in that capacity against their own seec-
ton. So they have left Mr.. Sellers to himself
and to Mr.. Bailey"
The argument on the motion to quash the in
dlctments will not occur in the United States
Court this morning. 1t has been postponed until
Friday, on account of the recent change in the

Foreign Koumiss Cast Aside by

able Results.

Whatever may be said of Indanapolis's repu-

brilliant prospects in the natural-gas field. there
is one field, at least, in which she is making, not
only national. but world WIDE reputation

DR.. j. c. Marcus we'll known at the head of
the medical faculty at Cincinnati, says of Haag's
Koumiss:
where this celebrated and skillfully prepared
Koumiss is used no other will satisfy. The first
use made of Haag's Koumiss was to replace
the imported with Haae's in the of my
mother. aged seventy years, and convalesclng

mainly Koumiss, and her weight has increased
and will continue to do so. I have placed two
patients tearly stages of phthsis) Haag's
Koumiss, and only need a central pharmacist to
have it in stock. since if prescribe his make no
other will satisfy. My investigation is from an
unbiased standpoint, and my only aim will be
to state the truth. do not hesitate to say that
we have here Koumiss equal to any in Europe.

good, President Cleveland would have
been here to-day as the guest OF Sena-
tor Kenna, of this State. AS it was the
President missed most notable and
unique exhibition, which otherwise
would have been o popular demonstra-
ton in his honor. 1t had been known
for a several weeks that the President
and MIR. Lamont were coming to meet
Senator Kenna and acknowledgements
Commissioner Miller, to raid the black
bass and the trout in tho streams flow
ing down the western descent of the
Aleghanies, notably the Greenbrier
river, the New river, and the Ksnawha

"THE GROWING HEN.
in anticipation of the visit of the
Chief Magistrate on his piscatorial
pilgrimage the guests here had in con-
temptation q surprise in turnout
and champetre of the Society of "The
Growing Hen" as presidential demon
stration. The waters in all the rivers
named are low, the fishing bad, and
Senator Kenns would not insist on the
President coming under the adverse
circumstances, but the Society of " The
Growing Hen" carried ont its pro.
gramme all the same. This was an
event that leaves its record in the an
nails Of the White Sulphur.
The Presidents absence on the occa-
sion was regretted, but the JSts was q
success. At 5 o'clock Z. NJ. nearly all
the ladies with male escorts, numbering
about 400. marched from the parlors in
files, four deep, headed by the band,
to point on the lawn where long rows
of tables had been spread with lunch
and iced champagne accompaniments.
This was the association of tho Grow
ing Hen" In tho centre of the
tables was an immense floral hen,
the growing for which was done
by experts in that art, and
in which the company all joined. The
line of march extended across and by
a circuiteus route from the Grand Cen
trail Hotel to tho middle of the western
lawn. The band, under the leadership
of L. J. Kramer, of Wheeling, played
the 'Eoulangcr March," which was
applauded by the Growing of the asso-

enthusiastic procession.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, August 12-Mid-
night.-The most disastrous fire known
here for many years is now raging IN
the heart Of the city, and the damage,
which cannot nov be estimated; VIII
certainly reach up in the millions:
Shortly before 10 o'clock tonight
smoke was seen issuing from the rear
of the Masonic Hall, on Fifth avenue:
Tho fire seemed to be in the second
sto v, which was occupied by Camp
bell d Dick as o carpet wareroom. An
alarm was quickly sounded and the
fire department responded promptly,
but before they arrived the rear portion
of the building was burning. In q
short time the flames spread to Hamil-
toms magnificent nine-story building
adjoining, and by IL o'clock the flames
had reached such proportions that the
entire fire department Of the city was
called out.
As Schmidt & Fridays building,
another fine structure nine stories high,
caught fire from the intense heat, and
in ten minutes more the Dispatch
building adjoining was in flames. These
buildings are now burning fiercely, and
there are no indications OF the fire
being controlled. 1t is feared that
half the block on the north side
of Fifth avenue between Smithtield
and Wood streets is doomed. This
property is the most valuable in the
city. Grave fears are also entertained
from sparks, which are flying in every
direction.
PITTsBURoH, August l2-1l:20 II.
M-The fire is still spreading. and at
this hour there are no indications Of the
fire department getting the flames
under control. The burning buildings
are the costlicst in the city, and the
loss will undoubtedly be very heavy.

and the Dispatch building are in dan
